Patient will be select randomly based on inclusion criteria. Patients will be advised to take 90ml of sodium phosphate in 800ml solvent ( zero calorie soft drink and water). Patients will be nil per oral from midnight aside from clear liquids. Serum electrolytes, urea, creatinine will be measured after and before bowel preparation. Bowel preparation will be assessed by consultant during endoscopy. Questionnaire will be filled by PI for palatability, tolerance of solution, adverse effects, and willingness to repeat the preparation.
